Dissemination of Data and Products to WFOs

This project focuses on the timely distribution of data and products to Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) using EOS direct broadcast ground stations. It includes accessing real-time imagery, reformatting and producing value-added products, and training WFOs on data usage.

  1. DISSEMINATION OF DATA AND PRODUCTS TO WFOs Gary Jedlovec (NASA) Jason Burks (NWS Huntsville)

  2. Data Distribution EOS DIRECT BROADCAST DATA • SPoRT relies on EOS direct broadcast (DB) ground stations for access to real-time MODIS, AIRS, and AMSR-E imagery • Univ. of Wisconsin and Univ. of S. Florida sites • latency to SPoRT is < 30min from overpass time • some EOS products produced at DB site • SPoRT: • subset data at DB site • reformat data/products • produce value added products • assessments • disseminate to NWS WFOs in SR • full resolution data in AWIPS • training Timely data and products are critical to weather applications!

  3. DATA OBTAINED FROM DB SITES Access EOS data via McIDAS ADDE and ftp servers University of Wisconsin • MODIS imagery, some Level 2 products • AMSR-E imagery and Level 2 products • AIRS Level 1 data (all channels) and Level 2 profiles University of South Florida • MODIS imagery, Level 2 ocean products Majority of products produced with EOS science team algorithms

  4. DATA AND PRODUCTS TO WFOs Dissemination of all SPoRT data via Local Data Manager (LBM) by summer 2007 (via Southern Region office) Nowcasting Data lightning flash densities / rates convective initiation fields GOES aviation products (NESDIS) Forecast data WRF 4km model runs (NSSL) Future Products MODIS ocean color MODIS fire products AIRS: profiles (T, Td) cloud products 3D moisture fields MODIS Products high res. imagery (6-8 channels) natural & false color composites fog product TPW and atmos stability cloud phase / pressure land surface temperature SST and composite AMSR-E Rain rate and type SST, PW, wind speed Composite TPW (SSMI,AMSU,AMSR-E) Web display used for monitoring product generation for AWIPS – weather.msfc.nasa.gov/sport/sport_eosdata.html

  5. WFOs RECEIVING DATA SPoRT • Huntsville (since 2/2003) – all products • Birmingham (all MODIS – SST) • Nashville (all MODIS – SST) • Mobile (all MODIS plus AMSR-E) • Miami (all MODIS plus AMSR-E) • Great Falls (all MODIS – SST) • Melbourne (aviation and polar TPW) • Fire locations to MT WFOs (Fall 2007) Will provide 1-4km MODIS, aviation, and polar TPW to all SR sites by Fall 2007, high resolution on a collaborative basis Univ. Wisc. 1-4km MODIS data to 10 Western and Central region sites based on SPoRT paradigm (Spring 2007) NRL - Monterey desire to provide MODIS and DOD products to local WFO and forecast centers (in N-AWIPS rather than via web) NESDIS OSDPD polar products (atmosphere and ocean) to forecast centers in N-AWIPS)

  6. FUTURE PLANS • Provide relevant SPoRT data to regional offices for dissemination to WFOs • Continue work with other agencies on transition of data to WFOs and forecast Centers • Work with AWIPS II team to facilitate the dissemination of NPP/NPOESS data to WFOs
